About This Book

Teksti esittää filosofisen keskustelun, jossa vanhemman iän hyviä puolia puolustetaan ja turmiollisia ennakkoluuloja kumotaan. Siinä tunnustetaan fyysiset rajoitteet mutta korostetaan kokemuksen, harkinnan ja mielenrauhan etuja, jotka voivat säilyttää yksilön arvokkuuden ja yhteiskunnallisen hyödyllisyyden. Teos käsittelee kuoleman pelkoa ja toivon luonnetta, tarjoaa esimerkkejä iän tuomasta viisaudesta sekä pohtii, miten ikääntyminen muuttaa tavoitteita ja vapauttaa intohimoista. Sisältö yhdistää retorisia perusteluja, eettisiä pohdintoja ja käytännön huomioita ikääntymisen arjesta.

About the Author

Cicero, Marcus Tullius portrait

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BCE) was a Roman statesman, orator, and philosopher whose works have significantly influenced Western thought. Known for his mastery of rhetoric, Cicero's writings cover a range of topics including philosophy, politics, and ethics. His notable works include "Academica," which explores the nature of knowledge, and "De Officiis," a treatise on moral duties. Cicero's letters, particularly those to his friend Atticus, provide valuable insights into the political landscape of the late Roman Republic. His speeches, such as those against Catilina, showcase his skills as a public speaker and advocate for the Republic.
